        Virgin still wants to run open access services, but they certainly won’t be ready from December and there’s a good chance they won’t be allowed at all. also the Virgin Trains brand lives on in the US where it was recently adopted for Brightline services

        Well the Frecciarossa is red so maybe we get colour continuity. Doubt the trains will be as great though.

        Does this also mean Trenitalia is now the HS2 operator also? Or will those services be carved up between different TOC’s?

        With Trenitalia taking over from Virgin Trains there are very few purely private operators left on the UK railways. Here's a list of the states behind each rail franchise (sometimes in a partnership) c2c: Italian state Chiltern: German state Caledonian sleeper: PRIVATE
